The Poison: Stories Of The Number 27
Her Dreams

Vinca, Sofia and Eireen stared at the figure in front of him in awe mixed with Salting. Julian, Ervin, Leo and Edwin stared at the three of them. Herina did not look so interested in the man, nor did Vina who was seen turning her gaze in any direction as long as she did not see the man.

And Nazril, the man they were looking at, could only give an awkward look.

While they were relaxing in the Civil Lab earlier, Vina came with a man beside her. Upon learning who the man was, Leo and Edwin immediately jumped up to hug Nazril without saying anything and just shouted Nazril's name.

After that, they asked each other the news and finally the atmosphere changed as the other investigation team came.

"Hi brother... A transfer student? Hehe..." Sofia asked with a thumping heart to make the people there look at her flatly. Nazril could only laugh awkwardly.

"Eum.... I think we're the same age..." Nazril's reply made Julian and Eireen almost laugh. Sofia smiled awkwardly mixed in embarrassment and then cleared her throat slowly.

Before long the door opened featuring Xennora with two large frictional pouches in both hands.

"I'm glad I bought more." Xennora said after seeing Nazril and then put the crackle on the table.

Herina approached and handed out the food boxes one by one. "The remaining dumbbells, usually run out immediately." Her speech.

Xennora shared in the other crackle. "Many students don't go to the cafeteria because they try out. So the canteen is deserted." Reply Xennora.

They also eat while interspersed with discussions and jokes. Sitting in a circle on the carpet while eating together, telling each other stories and jokes.

"So, when I checked the data of students who moved, it turns out Devan had moved before entering the second semester. Kayaks... He took the first semester report card and moved on." Clearly Leo after swallowing his food.

"So why is he still a student of Foundation 4?" Ask Vinca. Nazril who knew nothing just silently listened to them.

"For some reason I don't know." Answer Leo.

"Oh yes! At that time, Mr. Jaka was the guardian of class 4. I guess what his reaction was to know that Devan wasn't in school here anymore?" Edwin's question made Sofia and Herina think again.

"They switched the homeroom number to their home phone. Devan's free." The words of someone at the front door made the bearded nerd startled. Even Vina choked and was immediately given a drink by Ervin.

"Loe... Delia?" Ask Julian. Delia who was summoned instantly changed her originally serious facial expression to look guilty and continued to look down. Nazril who was no stranger to nerd students in front of him just looked at him in wonder. What is his connection to all this?

"Come in here." Said Herina who had finished with her eating activities. Doubtfully, Delia entered and closed the door and sat down near Herina. Judging from the way he sat, he looked uncomfortable.

Delia lowered her head, swaying her decision. Until they all finished eating even Delia had not opened a word. That makes Julian careless.

"Lo wasn't the culprit, was he?" Julian's question made Delia surprised.

"Kok-" Delia's speech is cut off by Julian who already knows the direction of the girl's question.

"Gue Denger, still got these ears." His words made Delia bite her lips nervously. The rest just stared at each other in confusion as they had not been able to read this situation. Julian suddenly said that Delia was not the culprit while the girl clearly confessed. What the hell is going on?

"Come Jelasin. According to school rules, you have to be honest if you want the problem to be solved." Julian. Quite quiet for a few minutes. Delia was still unsure of the people in front of her.

"L-yes, i... Asked to surrender to the principal. And she's... He's gonna pay SPP a whole year." Delia made them look at her in disbelief.

"And you accepted the deal?!" Jerk Herina.

Delia started crying, "yes! Because that's the only way to get my education! Papa is dead, and mom is sick! I have to make some money to buy you mama with food! There is no better decision than to accept the deal!! You think the world is fair?! Life is easy?!" Delia who was still crying. His breath goes up and down.

Herina, Vina and Sofia were shocked to hear of Delia's hardships. Isn't the problem of life a common thing for everyone? Other people just get different types, it doesn't mean their lives are better than ours, happier than ours. People only judge by what they see, that's all.

"Life is like a wheel. A spinning wheel where you can be on top or even under." Edwin.

"But why is my position always down?" Delia asked irritatedly with a face full of tears. Edwin could not answer Delia's question.

"I'm tired of keeping everything to myself. Thank you, and I'm sorry that I'm angry here." He stood up, intending to get out. But as he was still holding the doorknob, Xennora opened her voice.

"Running wheels have a lot of tempo. From the tempo of a day, and even up to a lifetime. The story of your life is usually with a lifetime tempo. Wanna?" Ask Xennora. Delia was still speechless not responding to the girl's words.

"Look, not everyone has to have an answer right now." Xennora. Delia just left without responding to Xennora's words. He also realized that he should be more patient.

Vinca was still thinking about Xennora's words. It seems like his life also requires a lifetime of time. Which means, he will feel what he has fought for later, when he has really lived his life. When he was really an adult.

Xennora snorted at Delia's departure. He would not mention if his life problems were more severe, no. That's too cruel.

"So what did he say? Diverting numbers?" Ervin asked interrupted their daydream.

"Yes, but... Meanin?" Ask Sofia.

"Have you ever seen home alone 3?" Ask Xennora.

"Kevin?" Ask Julian.

Xennora shook her head, "no, but Alex." The answer.

"Oh I know! The four criminals, right? One girl?" Vina's question made Xennora nod.

"There's one scene where the villain 'steals' the phone, or what you call switches the number." Obviously Xennora then he was silent for a while as if he was thinking something.

"But it's complicated. Little impossible if it's a high school student." Xennora made Herina look at him in awe but was a little surprised.

"Sometimes I'm weird at the same time. Any information and sayings from lo, it sounds like... You're a criminal." Herina's words made Xennora smile.

"Yes... How yes. So the crooks are kayaking... My dream when I was a kid. But not a crook-chet who work malak or ngebully doang. Yeah, more or less like stealing a Mona Lisa painting, nyulik president, Queen, or even...." Xennora looked at her friends one by one whose faces were almost the same, the unity of fear, horror, disbelief and thought that Xennora was just joking.

"Mass killer?"
